Another Stupid Isekai

- Come inside - she said then, immediately heading back to her house. - I followed.

We entered a short corridor, with shoes on the floor. It had a passageway to the kitchen, on the left, but we didn't go deeper into the house.

- You have to understand, that if I tell you anything, they will come after my family - she instantly broke into tears.

- I'm a hunter from Arc. A powerful one. When I mode with them, there will be nobody to go after you or your family. Besides, I think I can get you protection - I assured her.

She took a deep breath, to calm herself a little.

- I saw two guys there - she said. - I know they work for 'La X'. Some guys from this neighborhood work for them too. They deal heroin. They will be at my house as soon as you leave. They were here as soon as they knew that police wanted my testimony, and they told me to not say anything. I barely came back from the police station, after telling them repeatedly I saw nothing.

The tears appeared in her eyes once again.

I didn't say a word, I just shadow walked out of her house, straight to the group of FBI agents who were traveling with us.

- She needs protection. Take her to some witness program or something, but get her off that house immediately. Her and her family. I also need to know where I can find somebody linked to 'La X' - I said to them.

They were surprised by my sudden appearance but quickly regained their composure.

- It doesn't work like that... - said one of the agents.

He was about to say more, but I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him closer to me, so our noses were almost touching. I looked him deeply in the eyes, as they turned black. A the same moment the world around us was taken by the storm of void essence, which started to slip through the ground, as I used 'Void domain'.

On the horizon, a wall of raging blackness covered the sun, almost completely prohibiting the light to enter. We were in the eye of the cyclone.

- It does now - I squeezed through my gritted teeth, causing him to go completely pale, as the fear paralyzed his body.

Then I pushed him back, very slightly, so he just fell on his as, and switched my attention to his comrades.

- What the fuck are you waiting for? - I asked them.

Nobody even tried to discuss anything with me anymore, they just stormed straight into the house. I turned off my skills and looked at Joseph. He was pale too. His mouth and eyes were wide open, and I was the center of his focused attention.

- I found a lead - I informed him. - Call your guys, and get me somebody from 'La X'. The FBI guys have their hands full.

He wasn't even able to speak, just nodded. Then I looked at the thugs in wifebeaters, and they just bolted, jumping over the fences of the houses on the opposite side of the street, and disappearing.

- If anybody spills the beans of what happened here, I will find out, and I will come back. What you saw today will be nothing like what I will show you then, and that will be the last thing you will see in your lives! - I shouted before getting into the car.

The Driver was freaked out, and couldn't let go of my sight looking in the rear mirror, while mister Wu pulled his phone out. He started calling people. I could hear a few dull conversations through the closed door before he joined me.

- I texted you the address - he informed the chauffeur - to take us there. Now. Drive fast.

The information needed a second to reach the poor man's mind. He immediately started the engine, and we departed, leaving the FBI agents behind. By the end of the street, he was already in the fifth gear, going as fast as the car would allow.

Joseph grasped whatever he could desperately, and was holding with all his might. His knuckles and fingers went white, but he didn't protest. I remained calm. Any slip of a little bit of anger would cause me to snap completely, and that would be wrong. This anger needed to be preserved for those who had to pay for kidnapping my girls.

I couldn't even think of what I would do to them because it was pushing me too fast and too close to the point of no return.

Like that we arrived on a corner of two streets. there was a building there, which seemed to be some barber shop in the past, as a sign was still hanging there, but the two guys sitting on the chairs outside of the entrance, clearly indicated that it was something else now.

As soon as our car stopped, they stood up. They both were skinny and had white shirts with black coats on top, and their right hands immediately finished behind their backs.

- Who are you - they asked Joseph, who stepped out of the vehicle first.

I waited a little bit longer. I guess he was confident in me protecting him because he didn't hesitate at all.

- I'm here to speak with Gordito - he said.

- What do you want from the boss? - asked one of them.

- Obviously, I wish to speak with him. It's about money. A lot of money - he informed me, then he looked behind at the car, but it was a clear signal for me to step out.

So I did.

- Who is he? - the second one asked, nodding towards me with his head.

- Protection - replied Wu.

- Are you armed? - the first asked.

- No - said, Joseph.

- We need to search you - he insisted.

This made the businessman looks at me again.

- Sure - I said.

They patted us but found nothing, so we were allowed to enter the building, guided by one of the guards.
